Answer 1

Answer:

Mistake is on second line.

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two lines are (I added the boldface):

3x - 5 + 3x = x + 8 - x - 1

6x – 5 = 2x + 7

The first line has x and -x. They add to 0.

The second line on the right side should have just 7, but the x and -x of the first line were incorrectly added together giving 2x.

The second line should be:

6x - 5 = 7

Add 5 to both sides.

6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 2

Which answer choice correctly identify the missing information in the problem?

is 23 years old and just graduated from college. He accepted a job as the manager of a amusement park. His major decision was to offer family memberships to the public for $200 a year. The single admission to the amusement park is $25 per family each visit. How many shows can a family see if they have a limited budget?

A) there is no missing information; to find the answer you divided 200 by 25

B) you need to know how many people are in the family

C) you need to know how many times the family will go to the amusement park

D) you need to know the amount of the family budget to solve the problem

Answers

Answer:The  missing information to answer the question: "How many shows can a family see if they have a limited budget?" is the amount of the family budget.

Let's suppose that we know that information and one family has $100. If each visit costs $25 dollars, the family can see:

100/25 =4 shows

So if we do not have this info, we are not going to be able to solve the problem. The correct answer is the letter D!

Kayla wants to create a right triangle with side lengths 16 millimeters, 30 millimeters, and 34 millimeters. Is this possible? Why or why not?
A- no, because 16+30 is not equal to 34
B- no, because 16 squared + 30 squared is not equal to 34 squared
C- yes, because 16 squared +30 squared is equal to 34 squared
D- yes, because 16+30 is greater than 34

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

16² = 256

30² = 900

256 + 900 = 1156

34² = 1156

Answer: C

Answer:

B: No, because 16 squared plus 30 squared is not equal to 34 squared

Step-by-step explanation:

So if she wants to make a right triangle that would look like this

           | \

           |     \

30mm |         \ 34mm

           |            \

           |_______\

              16mm

Which would make the Pythagorean theorem look like this

16^2 + 30^2 = 34^2

265 + 900 = 1156

1165 = 1156

So you answer would be B

What is its inverse? F= {5,-1),(4,8),(6,8),(4,9)

Answers

Answer:

Hence, f −1 (x) = x/3 + 2/3 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify (f ∘ f−1) (x) = x

(f ∘ f−1) (x) = f [f −1 (x)]

= f (x/3 + 2/3)

⟹ 3(x/3 + 2/3) – 2

⟹ x + 2 – 2

= x

Hence, f −1 (x) = x/3 + 2/3 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

m(gradient) =y2-y1/x2-x1

y+1=-9x+45

y=9x+45-1

y=9x+44(rule)

y+44/9=9x/9

x=y+44/9

An infant drinks about 30 ounces of milk per day. About how many quarts of milk does the baby drink in 4 weeks

Answers

Answer:

840 Ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

4 weeks has 28 days. { 4 * 7 = 28 }

because an infant eats about 30 ounces of milk per day.

So 30 * 28 = 840 ounces

The baby drank about 840 ounces in 4 weeks.

The number of quarts of milk drank by baby in 4 weeks is 26.25 quarts.

Given that, an infant drinks about 30 ounces of milk per day.

What is metric conversion?

Metric Conversion refers to the conversion of the given units to desired units for any quantity to be measured.

Here, number of days in 4 weeks = 4×7

= 28 days

Number of ounces of milk drank by infant

= 28×30

= 840 ounces

We know that, 32 ounces = 1 quarts

So, 840 ounces = 840/32

= 26.25 quarts

Therefore, the number of quarts of milk drank by baby in 4 weeks is 26.25 quarts.

Jayanti takes shortest route to her home by walking diagonally across a rectangular park. The park measures 80 meters × 60 meters. How much shorter is the route across the park than the route around its edges?

Answers

Answer:

40meters

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangular park has 90 degree at vertex.so

in that right angled triangle

we have,

length=base=80meters

breadth=perpendicular=60

diagonal=hypotenuse=?

now,

h^2=p^2+b^2

h=square root under 80^2+60^2

h=square root under 6400+3600

h=square root under 10000

h=100

Again,

around root =80+60=140

daigonal=100.

so

the route is 140-100=40meters shorter
